LGBTQ youth are twice as likely as peers to experience bullying and/or physical assault. Rural America often provides less supportive structures & policies protecting this population. The NASW is committed to promoting laws and policies to address this issue #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[Maili Barr @mailirose95]

@Dreaka_3 This is so important to provide opportunities to immigrants who were raised here and work to contribute to the well-being of our country through higher education or military. Thank you for advocating to pass this legislation! #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[Maili Barr @mailirose95]

@JamesMTurner_ Thank you for bringing attention to this, James! Research has shown that immigrants contribute to job creation and stimulate the economy. Instead of division, we should focus on inclusion and working together #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[Maili Barr @mailirose95]

Structural inequities in education, employment, housing, & other risk factors shape disparities in chronic diseases by race, ethnicity, & income. This is no different with the emergence of COVID-19. The NASW supports creating policies to combat this inequity #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[Maili Barr @mailirose95]

@leticia_ofili The aging population is a vulnerable population and often experience chronic illnesses. It is our duty as social workers to advocate and push for comprehensive coverage to address these issues #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[Maili Barr @mailirose95]

@KChildres04 As discussed in the article you shared, US seniors are economically at risk & face struggles such as poverty, unstable housing, & higher rates of chronic illnesses. Comprehensive coverage would alleviate these current issues and increase overall well-being #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[Maili Barr @mailirose95]

The causes of elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation are many and complex. 1 in 10 adults over the age of 60 report experiencing this maltreatment. The NASW supports the Elder Justice Act to work towards prevention and intervention for this pervasive issue #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[Maili Barr @mailirose95]

@NicoleT21855716 With child abuse being so pervasive in KY, it is essential that we continue to spread awareness and educate the community on ways to address this major social issue. It is our duty as social workers to identify approaches to reduce these risks for children #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[Maili Barr @mailirose95]

@PaigeCato6 Thank you for bringing attention to this, Paige! This is such a helpful resource for those who are considering fostering. There are so many children within the system that would benefit from this #wkusocialworkpolicy

[Maili Barr @mailirose95]

The impact of child abuse & neglect cascades through an individual’s life and often has major repercussions. The NASW supports adequate systems to protect children & provide services for prevention. #wkusocialworkpolicy April is #ChildAbusePreventionMonth let’s spread awareness!

[Maili Barr @mailirose95]

@JamesMTurner_ These are such important and helpful tips as we are experiencing a global pandemic. It is critical to practice self-care and coping skills as the world is facing this collective stress #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[Maili Barr @mailirose95]

@TopperTim11 Thank you for bringing awareness to this topic, as it's such a new area of research but increasing evidence suggests it can be effective for various mental health conditions, especially PTSD. NASW supports the provision of quality treatments for individuals #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[Maili Barr @mailirose95]

COVID-19 has significantly impacted the mental health of Americans, prolonging stress exacerbated by the grief, trauma, & isolation experienced during the pandemic. The NASW supports improving these services and advocates for easier access to receiving care #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[American Psychological Association @APA]

One year after #COVID19 was declared a global pandemic, our latest Stress in America survey shows that we're facing a secondary crisis that is likely to have persistent, serious mental & physical health consequences for years to come.

The US continues to experience significant health disparities. Racial & ethnic minority groups are disproportionately affected & face barriers to receiving quality services, especially w/ the emergence of COVID19. The NASW supports equal health care for all #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[ZeroV @ZeroVKentucky]

We're grateful for the leadership of representatives @JimDuPlessisKy,@cedmassey, @stevesheldonky, @JamesATipton, and Samara Heavrin and their work on House Bill 8 to unburden Kentucky's programs for victims of abuse. #passhb8 #sheltertheshelters

[Maili Barr @mailirose95]

@TopperTim11 Hate crimes continue to be a prevalent issue in Kentucky. An attack on an individual leaves an entire community in fear. I am in full support of this bill & believe that these crimes should not be tolerated. We must work to ensure social justice for victims #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[Maili Barr @mailirose95]

@ClaireP16551385 @BanConTherapyKy This is such an important bill! Conversion therapy has been associated with increased psychological distress and higher rates of suicide. This method can be significantly harmful to developing youth and we should work to protect children from its practice #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[Maili Barr @mailirose95]

Solitary confinement has devastating effects on the development & mental health of youth. Evidence shows this method isn't effective & can cause long-term impacts that prevents youth from rehabilitating. Please support HB 86 to reduce the use of this measure! #WKUsocialworkpolicy
